What happened to 'quilting' the way women used to quilt, out of necessity for your family, comfortable yet nice to look at too?
Well, most people don't have the "need" to make quilts to keep their families warm. We make them to make ourselves and others happy. And besides, you can buy a comfortor made in China cheaper at Walmart than you can make a quilt, even with cheap fabric. If my family depended on my quilts to stay warm, they would all be sleeping under yardage of fabric. I am so behind in my actuall quilt making. I have lots and lots of fabric, though! :)
